Seattle Street Dodgeball is hosted at Cal Anderson Park in the Capitol Hill area in Seattle, WA.
It serves as a great melting pot, as cultures, religion, political opinion, favorite movie character lines, profanity, sexual orientation, grins, and laughter clash in the midst and fury of flying dodgeballs.
The games are pickup and played on a tennis court every Tuesday and Friday night, rain or shine (or snow), and continue even after the lights turn off around 10:20 pm. The players consist of the organizers (who own the balls, so don't f***ing mess with them) and other regulars, as well as hundreds of other different people who fill up the tennis court. (Many people hope that another game will get started so that some of the extra 50 people that show up can play somewhere else as well).
Although arrogant tennis players attempted to shut down the dodgeball games, which only occur over about six hours every WEEK, the players succeeded in overcoming the tennis players, and got the tennis players to revert to the teaching ingrained into them during kindergarten of the concept of "sharing".
Located near Seattle Central University, dozens of people come every week just to watch the action, which is amusing to see and listen to.
If a person lives in Seattle and has not seen Seattle Street Dodgeball, they have not yet seen a key part of Seattle culture.

(on the court during a game)
"YOU CAN'T CATCH, BO!"
"BUT HE CAN THROW!"
"ERIN THE SNIPER!"
"THIS is Seattle Street Dodgeball"
"STOP THROWING IT TO MEEPLE!"
"BRING IT ON, OLD MAN!"
and thus it will continue for hours

Another variant of the game dodgeball (bombardment). It has all the same rules as regular dodgeball, except a changed rule for when players get out and in.
Players get out the same ways as usual. 1. Get hit by a ball. 3. Hit someone in the head with a ball. 3. Someone on the opposing team catches your ball. And 4. Steps out of bounds.
In Civil War Dodgeball, when someone gets out, they have to go up to the half court line and lie down. To get freed, they have to be dragged back by a teammate past a assigned line, usually the back court line. If the player is dragged back that far, they are back in. However, players dragging teammates are very prone to getting hit by dodgeballs, and often do. Depending on House Rules, if the player dragging their teammate back is hit, that "dragger" has to go to the half court line and be dragged back. In some verision, the person who was being dragged has to go back to the halfcourt line, and in others, the the person who is being dragged stays where they last were when the "dragger" gets out.
Some people have multiple people go up and drag a teammate back to the line. With these extra people, they can drag their teammate back extra fast.
Also, in another verision of this verision of dodgeball, people lie down where they are hit and have to be dragged back to the line, which is usually the back court line.

I got out in Civil War Dodgeball yesterday. Chavez was dragging me back when he got hit. Then Rachael tried to drag me back. She got hit. Then Vincent tried to drag me back. He got hit. Finally, Louis managed to drag me back. Back "alive" and in the game, I avenged Chavez, Rachael, and Vincent and then dragged them back so they were back "alive."

If you are a guy belonging to a dodgeball league in one metropolitan area, you may not substitute on a team in another league in that area that you did not join at the start of the season. The minute you enter a different metro area you in effect become a dodgeball rookie, allowing you to substitute on another team.
We need to crash Boogie's party:) Thanks the the dodgeball corollary to the area code rule, the sub rule shouldn't apply if we leave the county, lol!
